Handles for Days

Handles for Days Badge Description

A player takes less of an energy hit when performing consecutive dribble moves, allowing them to chain together combos quicker and for longer periods of time.
Primary Ball Handlers
Gold+
Get at least Gold. If you have Silver, add a Max +1 or Max +2. You can also target Legend and HoF since they provide valuable boosts.
Everyone Else
Bronze
An amazing threshold for non-ball handlers.
Handles for Days Test Details

To test Handles for Days, we had the players perform a Kobe Bryant escape turbo cross and a Vince Carter snatch back. By doing so we can execute consistent dribble moves without the game registering that we're spamming or losing adrenaline. We then time-coded clips from each badge level and turned the difference into a percentage.
